Welcome to Storyflo Daily Automotive. I'm Axel.
The deal worth flagging at the top of the show: per Electrek, the Aventon Current ADV Smart Electric Mountain Bike got its first-ever discount this week, dropping $600 to $3,999. Electrek frames the Current ADV as Aventon's high-tier eMTB, and a first discount on a flagship trim is a useful signal — it tells you the model is moving into its first inventory-rotation cycle, which historically marks the start of a downward price drift for that year's hardware.
Sitting next to that on the deal sheet: per Electrek, the bundled EcoFlow DELTA Pro Ultra X portable power station with Smart Home Panel 3 fell $3,997 to a new low of $9,899 in an Electrek-exclusive cut. The piece also calls out a Jackery Memorial Day sale running up to $2,400 off and a Hiboy Memorial Day sale with up to 53% off e-scooters and e-bikes. The structural read: power-station and e-mobility OEMs are aligning their biggest discount blocks around the Memorial Day weekend rather than spreading them across summer — if you advise procurement on portable charging or last-mile fleets, that's your annual buy window.
